# Ray Catania > Dr. Ray Catania is an award-winning author, speaker, and Transpersonal Coach with a Ph.D. in Metaphysics from the University of Sedona. A former atheist and a near-death-experience survivor, his work explores consciousness, transformation, and the practical application of metaphysical ideas relating to human behavior. His message is simple: master your mind, master your reality. This site holds his books, writing, courses, coaching offerings, podcast, and media materials. He lectures for the International Association for Near-Death Studies and contributes to the Afterlife Research and Education Institute. His audience is largely made up of professionals, skeptics, and seekers who have had genuine experiences they find difficult to discuss openly. His teaching is built on named frameworks, including Say It Three Ways (I want, I will, I am, corresponding to conceive, believe, achieve), the Foundation Meditation for Manifestation, the Four Laws of Attainment, the Four Principles of Ascension, and the Four Pillars of a Superior Mind. He examines these ideas through the lens of science and reason, drawing on his own experience rather than claiming scientific proof.
